Article 33 Mode of construction and operation of transit system

The authorised transit system shall be operated by electricity or, in an emergency or for the purposes of maintenance, by diesel power or other means.

The authorised street tramway and authorised tramroad shall be constructed on a nominal gauge of 1,435 millimetres.

Except with the consent of the street authority (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) the authorised street tramways (other than any reserved track tramways) shall be so constructed and maintained as to ensure that the uppermost surface of the rails is level with the surrounding surfaces of the street in which they are laid.
